  1. IT PROJECTS(UNDER CAO/FOIS) PROGRESS AND CONCERNS AUGUST 2006

  2. STRUCTURE OF PRESENTATION • OVERVIEW • AREAS REQUIRING BOARD’S INTERVENTION • PROJECT SPECIFIC DETAILS

  3. OUR TASK - THIS YEAR

  4. GROWTH OF IT PROJECTS ON IR • IR’s capital budget for IT is Rs. 273 crore in 2006-07 • It is projected to increase to about Rs. 900 crore to Rs. 1200 crore by 2010 – 2011 • To make this scale of operation possible, requirement of space and other facilities for CRIS and FOIS organization needs to be significantly increased

  5. OUTLAY FOR PROJECTS UNDER CAO/FOIS

  6. IMPORTANT PROJECTS • COA (Control Charting) • FOIS (Freight Operations Information System) • CMS (Crew Management System) • ICMS (Integrated Coach Management System)

  7. MAJOR ISSUES NEEDING BOARD’s INTERVENTION

  8. STATUS – CONTROL CHARTING (COA) • Pilot project under trial at Madurai and Trivandrum divisions of SR • DOMs/SrDOMs visiting TVC/MDU and their reports being sent to CRIS continuously for necessary changes/enhancements • Tender for customization of software for IR under finalization in CRIS. • Tender for hardware and roll out to 23 divisions also under finalization in CRIS (Phase I) • Strategy for roll out – In three phases • Phase I – SR, SCR, SWR, CR, ECOR, SECR • Phase II – WR, WCR, NCR, NR, NWR • Phase III – SER, ER, ECR, NER. NFR (all detail at http://it.indianrail.gov.in)

  9. CONTROL CHARTING (COA) – TYPICAL CHART Chart and Advance Plotting FOIS COIS NTES CMS

  10. ISSUES – CONTROL CHARTING (COA) • Integration with dataloggers (1437 already installed & number growing) • Integration with FOIS, COIS, CMS and other public interface systems like NTES, Call centers etc • Record keeping of Control chart information – policy for archival

  11. IMPACT ON TARGET – CONTROL CHARTING (COA) • Board’s target for IR (76 locations/ 284 boards) – Mar 2007 • Latest review with CRIS indicates that software and hardware may become available by Dec 2006 • Roll out @ 7 locations per month

  12. DECISION/ASSITANCE-COA • Telecom and C&IS directorates to resolve the issue of supply of data by datalogger vendors to enable development of interface of COA with networked dataloggers • Safety and C&IS directorates to help freeze archival policy

  13. ISSUES-FOIS • V-SAT INSTALLATION AT 214 TMS SITES • EQUIPMENTS AVAILABILITY • RAILWAY’S INVOLVEMENT • CHANGED TRAFFIC PATTERN

  14. FOIS TMS Module • 524* locations on IR (all details at http://it.indianrail.gov.in) • 214 locations on VSAT • 324 locations online covering 376 sites • 126 locations printing RR online covering 176 sites • Around 1100 PCs and 400 printers supplied so far • 668 PCs and 612 printers under supply (within 45 days) *(3 locations of SR – 1 as P2, 1 closed, 1 HOM port location didn’t commission at all.)

  15. VSAT – BASIC FACTS • ON 21/12/04 BOARD (ML/MT/FC) APPROVED SETTING UP OF RAILWAY HUB & PURCHASE OF VSATs BY IRPMU WITH FOLLOWING FEATURES: • MASTER EARTH STATION IN KU BAND WITH AUTOTRACKING • 200 VSAT TERMINALS WITH DATA & VOICE CAPABILITY • SETTING UP OF NMS NETWORK • PAYMENT TO DOT FOR COMMERCIAL/CAPTIVE VSAT SERVICES WITH CUG CAPABILITY • HIRING OF QUARTER TRANSPONDER • AMC WITH OEM FOR MAINTENANCE SUPPORT FOR HUB & TERMINAL • CAO/FOIS TO MONITOR PROJECT & IRPMU TO NOMINATE ONE DY. CSTE EXCLUSIVELY • HIRE VSAT WITHIN 3 MONTHS & SETTING UP OF A HUB WITHOUT AFFECTING FOIS TERMINAL

  16. TMS VSAT locations • 214 TMS locations have to be commissioned on VSATs by IRPMU • Railway Board’s target was June 2006. IRPMU’s revised target is Sept 2006 • 74 VSATs covered upto 17.8.06

  17. IMPACT ON TARGET-FOIS • V-SAT DEPENDENT TMS SITES(214) WILL TAKE LONGER TO STABLISE • RESPONSE TIME ISSUES (1500 vs700 msecs) • CHANGE IN HUB FROM VENDOR’S TO OUR OWN (Realignment of each dish)

  18. Problems relating to the VSAT Network • Response time excessive – timed out if data packet size exceeds 1000 bytes • Voice communication yet to be provided • Video conferencing facility between CRIS, Railway Board and zonal railway HQs required

  19. GENERAL ISSUES- V-SAT • HECL CONTRACT - 235 (± 25%) • Requirement as of now - 477 • HUB CAPACITY-500 (CAN GO UPTO 1000) • TRANSPONDER HIRING ISSUE

  20. DECISION/ASSITANCE-FOIS • Board’s directive for AT/generator supply from station to TMS site • Nomination of 2 Rates Inspectors by each zone to CAO/FOIS for verification of referential database and testing of software changes due to rates circulars

  21. STATUS-CMS • Detailed estimate of Rs 38.16 crores sanction by Railway Board. • 302 lobbies to be covered, out of which 259 are integrated lobbies (presently around 60%). (all details at http://it.indianrail.gov.in) • Target for completion March 2007

  22. STATUS-CMS • Application under development and testing for • Freight module • Coaching, shunting and pilot module • Suburban module • Site Preparation • Lump sum amount sanctioned @ Rs 1,31,728 for major and Rs 82,890 for minor lobbies • Target for readiness Aug 2006 • Terminal Equipment • Under vetting • Target of Phase I supply - Dec 2006 • Datacom Equipment • Under vetting. Will be procured through CRIS • Training • Core group and core implementers will be trained at CRIS • Core group identified on all 16 zonal railways • Training labs being set up at 5 locations

  23. ISSUES - CMS • Difference in interpretation of Board’s circulars by zonal railways in calculation of running allowance • Integration of lobbies

  24. IMPACT ON TARGET-CMS • Board’s target – 302 sites by Mar 2007 • Latest review with CRIS indicates software and hardware will be available only by Dec 2006. • Going by the FOIS and other roll out experience, commissioning of 30 sites per month would be a reasonable target

  25. DECISION/ASSITANCE-CMS Nomination of Committee of ED s of Electrical, Mechanical, Personnel & Finance for practice to be adopted for computation of running allowance and other issues / business reengineering Details of sample issues

  26. STATUS-ICMS Enhanced scope • Punctuality Module • Module is being tested on NDLS & MAS • Coaching Stock Management Module • Being implemented in three phases • Software ready and under field trials at Nizamuddin & Chennai • Ready for roll out • Timetabling Module • Time table simulation module’s system requirements under discussion

  27. STATUS-ICMS • Enhanced scope (contd) • Coaching Stock Maintenance Module • Scope of Mechanical module has been enhanced from capturing of coaching depot maintenance related activities to automation of C&W department • It covers 154 depots & 975 coaching locations. • It covers 331 depots & 973 electrical locations. • Scope of Electrical Maintenance module defines only 8 technical modules developed by NR under MIS projects. It also does not give assessment of hardware & user specifications.

  30. IMPACT ON TARGET-ICMS • Three months delay due to supply of UPS and datacom equipment

  31. DECISION/ASSITANCE-ICMS • C&IS directorate to facilitate freezing of scope for Mechanical & Electrical Maintenance Modules in view of dropping of work from MIS • C&IS directorate to sanction & release funds for time tabling module.

  32. GENERAL ISSUES -INFRASTRUTURE • INVESTMENT • SPACE-BLDG • MANPOWER • DISASTER TOLERANCE – VSAT HUB ISSUE

  33. GENERAL ISSUES -TRAINING • CURRICULAM IN TRAINING INSTITUTES-TRAFFIC,MECHANICAL,ELECTRICAL-MPP DTE’S ROLE • ADDITIONALTRAINING CENTERS –5 (DLI,SC,BB,HWH,TPJ)
